After a month of playing Life at least four hours a day, going on 8, I wound up without a job, having not spoken to my friends or family once. For all they know, I’m dead. And maybe I am. But I don’t care? I need to get my hours in, afterall. Highest priority. There… Continue reading Life, Part 7 (0s, 1s)

When my character, Ass Boy, graduated from high school and went to college, the open world became more hostile and difficult. It was higher leveled enemies attacking my avatar who needed to find a decent part time job so he could eat, balance everything with studying, and wake up in time for class. It wasn’t exactly… Continue reading Life, A Review. Part 6. Routine.

So I heard someone talking to me from my attic this morning. My attic is a space I have seen twice over the course of a handful of years. The drop down ladders in my apartment complex are prone to breaking, and climbing them feels like you’re about to drop any second. “I see you.”… Continue reading Life, A Review Part 5 {Sequence Break} “Portals”

When I was twelve my father tried out this game called Unreal Tournament 2003. He really enjoyed it, but not nearly as much as I did. I quickly fell in love with the fast paced competition, grew too good for the bots, and took my skills online, which became an addiction for years. During that… Continue reading Half-Life Review

Tech support will not email me back. I am beginning to lose sight of the real world. Every other hobby of mine has fallen by the wayside, and the thought that other video games exist does not cross my mind in the moment to moment of Life: a mysterious indie game developed by the equally… Continue reading Life, A Review Part 4: Expansion

6I received several angry emails about my recent Life Review–some of them death threats–and I cannot let them go unseen. They’re too strange, and if anything were to happen to me, an explination deserves to exist for those who care, even though I do not believe, after everything I’ve done in the wake of this… Continue reading Life, A Review Part 3. “A Puppet Will Burn.” Sequence Break.

My review went up a couple days ago of the 90’s FPS Quake II. It was a great game that I was able to burn through quite quickly, and as such I burned through writing about it such that I missed some key notes I wanted to talk about. For starters, this game has you… Continue reading On Quake II

Quake II was more known for its contribution to the online multiplayer scene. I never played its version of death match, though I’ve definitely played Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament, so you could call me an expert. It was fun multiplayer. But today I finished the single player campaign. I originally owned the game… Continue reading (PC) Quake II Review

This is, as the title suggests, a continuation of a prior piece. If you haven’t yet read part 1, you can do so at this link. So first version was erased, and a second was downloaded. I checked to make sure, and no matter what I could not revert to that last version. I couldn’t… Continue reading Life, A Review Part 2: Shadows
